Acupuncture is a method of balancing the body's energy by inserting needles under the skin at specific points along energy pathways (meridians), to prevent or cure disorders of the body.
Modern approaches recognize that needles inserted at acupuncture points induce biochemical changes in the body and accelerate healing.
Acupuncture is a safe, effective way to complement and enhance conventional medical treatment.

Exercise is the best way to prevent injury and to maintain stability and endurance around healing tissues.
Research shows that exercise promotes more long-term benefit than passive treatment alone. This is why we strive to ensure your program is tailored to suit your needs.

ART treats problems with muscles, tendons, fascia and nerves. Many conditions can be resolved more quickly and permanently with ART. Many conditions have one important thing in common: they often result from injury to over-used muscles.

Massage therapy melts away stress and tension, relieving associated headaches and muscular aches & pains. By encouraging the body's own healing processes to act, massage therapy, reduces injury healing time. Massage therapy aids in the healing process from injury or over-use, and is an excellent form of preventive health care.

As with any structure, if the foundation is not stable, the elements above become affected. This also applies to ones feet, the foundation of your body. Imbalances of the supporting structures of your feet can result in excessive foot motion, which in addition to altering proper foot function, can result in rotation of the legs which may affect your knees, hips and back. Orthotic devices are designed to control one’s foot biomechanics to a precise degree throughout all parts of the walking/running cycle.
